Job 42

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Then Job answered the LORD and said:	1 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
2 I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be hindered.	2 I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
3 I have dealt with great things that I do not understand; things too wonderful for me, which I cannot know.	3 Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
	4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
5 I had heard of you by word of mouth, but now my eye has seen you.	5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
6 Therefore I disown what I have said, and repent in dust and ashes.	6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
7 And it came to pass after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "I am angry with you and with your two friends; for you have not spoken rightly concerning me, as has my servant Job.	7 And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
8 Now, therefore, take seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up a holocaust for yourselves; and let my servant Job pray for you; for his prayer I will accept, not to punish you severely. For you have not spoken rightly concerning me, as has my servant Job."	8 Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.
9 Then Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as the LORD had commanded them. And the LORD accepted the intercession of Job.	9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.
10 Also, the LORD restored the prosperity of Job, after he had prayed for his friends; the LORD even gave to Job twice as much as he had before.	10 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11 Then all his brethren and his sisters came to him, and all his former acquaintances, and they dined with him in his house. They condoled with him and comforted him for all the evil which the LORD had brought upon him; and each one gave him a piece of money and a gold ring.	11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
12 Thus the LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his earlier ones. For he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.	12 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
13 And he had seven sons and three daughters,	13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14 of whom he called the first Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch.	14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
15 In all the land no other women were as beautiful as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brethren.	15 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
16 After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; and he saw his children, his grandchildren, and even his great-grandchildren.	16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
17 Then Job died, old and full of years.	17 So Job died, being old and full of days.
